Yes. This is my configuration. Router proxies all data (except for a few isolated machines) through wireguard VPN, and external clients connect to router via OVPN.
Would've liked to do both via wireguard, but I wasn't able to figure out how to run a wireguard client and server on the router without issues.

Would you be willing to share some screenshots of your server and client configurations? Please hide any of your personal data.
Thanks in advance!

I wonder if it would be possible to adapt the installation instructions to use in a router with Asuswrt-Merlin and NordVPN. So far, it looks like it can only be tried on devices that use Linux, Ubuntu, etc.
Code:
@RT-AC86U-69B8:/tmp/mnt/ssd/movie# ./nordvpn set technology NordLynx
Technology is successfully set to 'NordLynx'.
@RT-AC86U-69B8:/tmp/mnt/ssd/movie# ./nordvpn c

Thank you for attempting this! I guess I will make it my weekend project!

Yes, please let us know. I'm interested as well but I don't have the time and maybe not the wherewithal.

Somewhat off-topic, but I recently picked up a AX88U to play around with and figured I'd give wireguard a shot there as well.
No issues with entware, diversion, or anything else, but can't get wireguard to setup properly even with the same config on an AC86U with Merlin 384.13.
Basic info: AX88U Asus-Merlin 384.13 with kernel 4.1.51 and wireguard_0.0.20190702-1_aarch64-3.10
Comes up with the following upon start:
I get the package was built for AC86U; my assumption (probably falsely) is that the basic entware file structure would be the same and there wouldn't be an issue installing the kernel module, etc.
Seems not to be the case though.
Any thoughts on whether it's possible to adapt this for similar routers, or is it specific to AC86U only?

Wireguard (for now) only works on the 86U. See link:

u wasted ur money, can only work on AC86U.

then say so, and give a reason.

Ask the person who compiled the packages. I didn't, and I don't use Wireguard either.

I wouldn't call it a waste. I'm pretty happy with it.
Laptop's wifi speed even just locally is about 1.5x (picked up a AX1650 as well).
The wireguard thing is just a minor, temporary setback.
And I agree with Merlin--conceptually there shouldn't be a reason why wireguard can't work with the AX88U.
The logs suggest an adapter name might've been changed or something because it has 8 ports instead of four, or possibly compiled for a different kernel since the issue is primarily a missing kernel module, but all the basic pre-reqs are there.
It's just a matter of speaking with the package compiler to sort out the difference.
